"Just Be You" | Glenbard East, Glenbard South Seniors Share Powerful Message With District 44 Students
As Glenn Westlake eighth graders now prepare for their transition to high school, students at Glenbard East and Glenbard South wanted them to know one simple thing: just be you.
Students from the two high schools paired up with officials at Lombard District 44 to develop a special video that premiered at graduation last Thursday. The video contained their powerful messages of acceptance and kindness. Please click the image below to watch this heartfelt video made by graduating seniors for the graduating class at Glenn Westlake.
"We wanted our eighth graders to have an opportunity to hear directly from students who once sat in their chairs -- graduates of Glenn Westlake-- and learn from their experiences in high school," said Superintendent Ted Stec who spearheaded the project with the two high schools. "These seniors from Glenbard East and Glenbard South had some remarkable things to say, and I hope our students hold onto these words of wisdom long after graduation."
The video features eight exiting seniors from both Glenbard East and Glenbard South, all of whom had very different experiences and journeys. Each reflect on their experiences and provide some powerful wisdom for their incoming peers.
Lombard District 44 thanks both Glenbard East and Glenbard South for the opportunity to develop the video and provide this experience to our students and their families on graduation night.
